 	// By default, DataViews is in an "uncontrolled" mode, meaning the current selection is handled internally.
 	// However, each time a site is selected, the URL changes, so, the component is remounted and the current selection is lost.
 	// To prevent that, we want to use DataViews in "controlled" mode, so that we can pass an initial selection during initial mount.
